Sponsors
The instructions to find the GCF of 11, 55 and 110 are the next:
1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
| 11 | 11 |
| 1 |
| 55 | 5 |
| 11 | 11 |
| 1 |
| 110 | 2 |
| 55 | 5 |
| 11 | 11 |
| 1 |
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
| Prime factors of 11 | = | 11 |
| Prime factors of 55 | = | 5 . 11 |
| Prime factors of 110 | = | 2 . 5 . 11 |
3. Choose the common prime factors with the lowest exponent
Common prime factors: 11
Common prime factors with the lowest exponent: 111
4. Calculate the Greatest Common Factor or GCF
Remember, to find the GCF of several numbers you must multiply the common prime factors with the lowest exponent.
GCF = 111 = 11
